>> just six months after the boston bombing, the red sox show boston is indeed strong. >> at fenway park, it hasn't happened for 95 years. the red sox world champion. >> that was joe buck and that was the red sox. their third championship this century is off to a good start. a surprising start. live reaction this horning. i believe the car was once on its wheels.

on capitol hill yesterday with kathleen sebelius, head of health and human services, there she is promising, swearing to god she is going to tell the truth. note to kathleen sebelius. the next time you go to capitol hill to testify about your website, make sure the website is actually working, because at one point during the program yesterday as she sat in the hot seat for three hours, somebody on their ipad brought it out and said hey, look, it's not working right now. that's the screen she got. if you missed the three hours, here's a little summary of it and then we're going to chat about what she said. >> here we are now five weeks into enrollment. the news seems to get worse by the day. >> sir, i was informed that we were ready to launch on october 1. i told the president that we were ready to go. clearly i was wrong. >> you're saying that the president is not responsible for h.h.s.? >> sir, i didn't say that. >> it is the president's

ultimate responsibility; correct? >> clearly -- whatever. we were anxious to get the website up and running and functional, which we clearly have failed to do to date, although i would suggest the website has never crashed. >> the program has crashed and burned at least three times, and users are still having problems. >> i would remind you some people like to drive a ford, not a ferrari and some people like to drink out of a red solo cup, not a crystal stem. you're taking away their choice. >> there is a line where dorothy turns to toto and says toto we're not in kansas anymore. >> madam swear while you're from -- madam secretary, while you're from kansas, you're not in kansas anymore. >> i'm not sure what she was referring to when she said don't do this to me.

>> talking to her aide. >> that is what the american people are saying, don't do this to me. it was a freudian slip. >> yesterday it was the ying and the yang. i have an interesting take. i listened to it on the fox news radio app. i did not see the body language. in listening to it, it sounded fair. when i watched it, i could see how some people might feel bad for the former governor, now health and human services secretary because it looked as if she came off as somebody not that defensive, who didn't have a lot of answers. and when the questions kept coming, after awhile you feel kind of bad for her. >> you think that has to do with the ratio male to female? that is a tricky thing to overcome in terms of perception. >> i don't think anybody should feel better about

the program and i don't think you should feel she's had her hands in every element of the program. there are people that write this stuff and can answer any question whether you like it or not. i don't think the president can answer every detail and i don't think she can answer. >> they were trying to pin her down, who exactly is responsible for this debacle, and at one point she said michelle snider, who works over at the centers for medicare and medicaid services. and then the congress person said she's responsible for the debacle? and she said, no. hold me accountable. i'm responsible for the debacle. then when they pressed her to try to say that barack obama was in charge of the department, she wound up saying, whatever. but the president is in a pickle right now. forget about the fact that you've got the problem with the website. now -- and he earned four pinocchios from "the washington post" yesterday because of something he said hundreds perhaps thousands of times where if you like your health care, you can keep it. and he went up to boston

yesterday to defend it and said, hey, look, they had problems here in massachusetts, but mitt romney's plan which turned out great and eventually it turned around. >> he took it to the mic to let the american people know the government -- not the american people -- the government knows what's best for them. and what's best for them is obamacare. take a listen. >> if you had one of these substandard plans before the affordable care act became law, and you really like that plan, you are able to keep it. that's what i said when i was running for office. that was part of the promise we made. but ever since the law was passed if insurers decided to downgrade or cancel these substandard plans, what we said under the law is you've got to replace them with quality comprehensive coverage because that too was a central premise of the affordable care act act from the very beginning. >> essentially saying if you like your plan and they

changed the plan to something you shouldn't like, i will change it for you. first off on the qualifying statement, 60% of all of these exchanges only have one option across the country. so you can't shop, you only have one product to choose from number one. number two, they did the slightest change to the health care which you hads, you are able to be kicked off, no longer to be grandfathered. the president did a wonderful two-step. instead of saying if you like your plan you can keep your plan. if you like your plan, you'll be able to keep it unless we deem it not good enough for you. >> the question remains unanswered because he's saying you have to then go and shop. that's a mandate right there. we're all asking, wait a minute, this is the government that we have to give our health over to, the same one that has a backlog of veterans, the same one that is $17 trillion in debt, the same one that can't run their own website? we have to? now that language is you've got to. you've got to do this.

>> between two and 20 million people have been kicked off their plan. if you're one of those people and you heard the president speaking in massachusetts yesterday, do you feel better about it? that is what his goal is, to make us feel better about being kicked off your individual plan. >> the president has been emphatic for years, if you like it, you can keep it. president. perhaps he won the presidency the second time around at least on the promise that if you like your plan, you can keep it. well, that simply is not true. and now what they're doing is they're spinning like crazy to try to change it. but there are millions of americans who have lost the plan that they like. maybe they're going to get something that is better. maybe it's going to be more expensive. but nonetheless, it is a broken promise. and a lot of people are steamed about that. and if you look at the brand-new "wall street journal" poll, the president's poll rating right now is the lowest it has been in his administration, in the presidency of barack obama. he now stands at a 42% job approval rating.

one interesting other side note to this is that a majority of americans now say that they belong to neither party. >> that is interesting. >> things in the country, they are a changing. >> perhaps because that broken promise is an expensive one personally for so many americans right now. instead of this blurry national debt, it is their own pocketbooks it is being pulled from. that may be why they don't feel the love. >> heather nauert is going to talk about something different. >> good morning. hope you're off to a great day. there is a bombshell new report based on documents leaked by edward snowden and it accuses the n.s.a. of secretly tapping into google and yahoo's internet servers. the original prism scandal that involved complicated court orders allowing the n.s.a. to subpoena records from those companies, but this latest program code named muscular could have been painting the same record behind google's and

yahoo's back. the n.s.a. has denied the claim that 180 million records have been compromised. there is a monster storm and it's putting halloween on hold for many kids across the country. look at that right there. heavy rain, high wind and flash flooding already hitting parts of texas at this hour. this is new video coming in from houston. possible tornadoes and hail forcing trick or treaters to cancel their plans this evening. several cities in indiana, kentucky and ohio put off the quest for candy until tomorrow. hang in there, kids. out of washington, iraqi prime minister mall can malliki is set to arrive at the white house today for a meeting with president obama about the increase in violence in iraq. the prime minister met with vice president joe biden to discuss the current threat. the meetings are an attempt to stop iran from smuggles

arms and supplies into syria. the hero afghan translator targeted by afghanistan for saving an american soldier's life arrived on american soil. he charged into enemy fire to help a sergeant rescue a wounded soldier. for two years the case has been tied up in red tape. he arrived at reagan national airport and one of the soldiers whose life he saved was there to greet him. he'll be there in the united states, now with his wife and two kids. >> if he wants to hop on the amtrak and go up to celebrate, why not do it with the red sox fans. champagne flowing for the red sox last night. they are the 2013 world champions. >> it hasn't happened at fenway park for 95 years, the red sox world champion. >> they win their third world series of the century, their first since

2004. the team was at one point dead last and mixed in turmoil. >> it was the best ever. >> it was awesome awesome! >> i've been going to fenway park since i was this big, and to see this at home just unbelievable. i can't explain it. >> wicked awesome. hundreds of fans gathered for an incredible moment at the finish line of the boston marathon after an emotional year.

cancellation i was paying $404 a month and my visit to the doctor maybe once a year. next year goes up to nearly $800 a month -- doubled -- and she's still only going to use the doctor maybe once a year. that's stephanie. move on to rhonda. her husband, small business owner, after being rolled over to a new plan, the deductible went from $1,500 to $2,500. the aggregate, 50%, that means her out-of-pocket spences went to -- is expenses went to $6,350. they are satisfied with the old plan but have to be moved out. no choice. >> we heard from the president yesterday despite the fact for four years he said if you like your plan you can keep it, and those people are proof you can't, the president said the problem is some people -- some, and they make it sound like it is a tiny little fraction of the country -- some people had cut-rate companies from bad-apple companies like

blue cross-blue shield. >> that is flatout outrageous. this is right from the game plan as usual. yo wrong, so you pick an enemy and you demonize somebody else. you blame somebody else. in this case it's the insurance companies. that is outrageous. these policies are being canceled and dropped because the government says you can no longer offer those policies. it is illegal to offer those policies. >> i saw a story on-line yesterday that apparently the white house is squeezing insurance companies, saying don't you come out and don't you tell bad stories about obamacare or we're going to crack down on you. >> the government has enormous power and is in a position to do precisely that, but it's not telling the truth. this obamacare is cancellation of millions of policies, far worse for the economy than any government shutdown. >> i'm sure you're going to be following this and reading more letters over on "stuart varney and company" 9:20, three hours from now. >> i'm fired up about this.

data centers. did the n.s.a. go too far? fox judicial analyst andrew napolitano is here to break that down. the n.s.a. says we did not hack into google and yahoo. >> this this has not been addressed which leads us to believe what snowden says is true. i think the n.s.a. is utterly out of control and i think the president needs to rein them in. the story that they spied on the cardinals and papal conclave that elected pope francis will be the last straw for most americans. there is no legitimate national security or intelligence value to doing that. it's a highly secretive place. think of it this way. the american cardinals are expressly protected by the first amendment because of the church rules of privacy and secrecy, which the

american government cannot interfere with. >> why are you assuming the president doesn't know about this? why do you think it's an agency that's on its own? >> if the president knows about it and permits it, he has a great deal of explaining to do not only to american catholics but to the pope himself who is the head of a foreign country as well as the head of the roman catholic church and to americans at large about why the n.s.a. is spying so indiscriminately. if the president doesn't know about it, then he's got a rogue organization working in the executive branch that he can't control. i don't know which is worse, that he knows about it and permits it and is not telling us or that he doesn't know about it and they're out of control. >> there is a magazine that says the president did know about it in 2010 when it comes to angela merkel. >> when the president talks to angela merkel his own spies are spying on him. that is how asinine this has become.

go yankees. >> coming up straight ahead, the nanny state cracking down on smokers. why it will now be harder for you to get your hands on them. so you're going to have to live longer.

halloween. what better way to get into the spirit than with a little ghost hunting. maria molina did just that. >> boo! >> yeah. that's right. i did some paranormal investigating with a team of real life ghost hunters. take a look. meet the members of the paranormal society. i was invitessed to join the team on an investigation of a dr. daniel kissham house in long island. >> it was built in 1795. avenues doctor, a physician.

so the house acted as his private residence with his family and also housed his medical practice. people sometimes claim to have heard things or seen things, but we haven't been able to verify any of that. the reason we chose the team is because they are largely skeptics. >> there are many skeptics that do not believe in paranormal activity. but you yourself were one of them. >> still don't accept a lot of evidence at face value. i look to see if there is a logical explanation. >> the team has been here before and hasn't found some actual evidence of paranormal activity here. >> yes. rose and i were in the parlor room and all of a sudden it got cold. we had caught a huge, shadowy mass, dark, dark, climbing up the wall. >> it seems like there are children associated with this room of the it seemed like a boy and girl. that could be them right there. that's exactly what i'm talking about. >> i'm starting to get creeped out. we vent even turned the lights off. >> okay. so we have cameras that are

going to be recording. >> yes. this records continuously. it's a dvr system. >> we'll see what we find tonight. >> time to turn out the lights. right now we have a base reading of 1. if that starts to light up any brighter or in a different color range that, will tell you if there is something free flowing. >> a little flashlight that's on the chair. that, you might be able to turn that flashlight on. you want to try and communicate with us, you want to show us you're here, see if you can do that. >> i'm going to count to three, please light up this little device right here on the floor. one, two, three. thank you. >> thank you for what? >> shut it off now.

>> i felt a chill. >> would you get kick out of scaring people? really? that's nice. so off good sense of humor? okay. so i think we did really well tonight. i think we got some evidence and i think it's a wrap. >> okay. so there is ghosts in the house? you believe that stuff? >> i don't know, because when i was there, i really did feel that maybe something was going on. that flashlight really turned on on its own. i thought i saw it moving around. but then my friends told me they probably had some kind of remote control set-up. >> maybe. >> appropriate for the day. >> spooky, though. >> straight ahead on this halloween morning, the white house now admitting if you like your health care plan, you might not be able to keep it.

good morning. today is thursday, october 31. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. they created it. just don't ask them to enroll in it. kathleen sebelius under new fire for refusing to join obamacare, the program she's being paid to pitch. >> wow. from last to first to the best? the red sox prove they are boston strong. >> for 95 years, the red sox, the world champions. >> we're live at the celebrations in boston because -- because. >> because that car flipped over. >> i don't need to keep going on. why do i feel like i have to keep going on?

>> why do you have to? because it's halloween. remember, remember this classic scene from "a christmas story." >> there is no going back now. >> this is nuts. >> turns out he's going to be stuck there longer than we thought. "fox & friends" hour two for this thursday starts right now. >> hi, everybody. this is kristen chenowith, you're watching "fox & friends." stick around. >> she was in "wicked" for a while. >> so sweet. >> wicked crowd. >> first the treat and then the trick, which is obamacare. >> how happy are you? >> i'm so happy. i love this. i love the team, happy for them and i think everyone is. they had a rough emotional year since the marathon. i think the nation is celebrating with them. >> what an embarrassing close to last season where they were hanging out in the locker room, eating during games. they had to fire their manager.

they rebuilt their entire franchise and win a celebration. >> hence the celebration today. but nor not kathleen sebelius. she got the grilling yesterday over the health care law. does she even know what it is? check out this exchange between representative billy long and sebelius where he's insisting, look, you can get obama administration obama administration. why aren't you signed up? she said no, i can't. i promise. >> if it's possible for you to forego your government program you have now, will you tell the american public that yes, i will go into the exchanges next year like everyone else? >> sir, the way the law is written -- >> it's a yes or no. let's say you're wrong on that. if you're wrong, will you? yes or no. >> i don't want to give misinformation to the american public. >> i want you to research -- if you're wrong, will you go into the exchanges? if you can, will you?

that's a yes or no. if you can, will you? >> i will take a look at it. i don't have any idea -- >> that's not an answer. that's not a yes or no. >> what's disturbing about that is she does not even understand the law that she is in charge of enforcing and pitching because under the law, she can go ahead and join obamacare. she would have to stop getting the $10,000 federal subsidy that she gets. in fact, yesterday she was also queeried by a congressman from colorado. he wanted to feel exactly what his constituents were. he opted out of the capitol hill program. he's been on the private exchanges -- on private insurance himself and, in fact, has gotten that letter that said he's canceled. so just the fact that she said, you know, i don't think i can do it, she can do it. the big question is, now, will she do it? >> i have no use for that teach exchange. that's not helping to find out what went wrong. it's not helping anybody find

out how the program could run better or helping us find out if we should toss it out. that's somebody look for a headline. i don't see any reason to pin her to the mat on that. >> they had four minutes to use. >> trying to pin down a 60 something-year-old woman who gets medicare to take obamacare? >> mike rogers effectively used his four minutes -- >> he was great. >> -- to show there are security problems and obamacare went live without being tested from end to end. i think what he was doing, brian -- keep in mind, there were a number of people in congress who tried desperately to get rid of the government exemption where they all get subsidies up there. i get why he asked that. she did not have a good answer and she looks kind of foolish that she wouldn't even know her own program. >> i thought originals nailed it because everybody cares about security. you get hacked right now, your life goes to its knees. that's why we got our lifelock

on everything you log on to. next thing you know, your credit cards are through the roof, people hack into your background. we have a guy in russia that can hack into the most sensitive things we have in our country. and we're going in with the most vital information, our social security numbers, and she had no good answer when it came to social security. she could not answer the question when he said, have you even looked at this end to end? and they're using patch work and piecemeal to keep this system -- >> because they're writing new code every night. >> it was a fierce exchange. it really was and it scared a lot of people on the eve of halloween. >> that helps us, doesn't it? that helps us, by getting kathleen sebelius on a program or not getting on a program, i think it's pretty clear. what else was important is when they bring up the stories like people every day trying to get on this who actually want it, they have this one story about this guy whose family dates back to the mayflower trying to get obamacare. they say you're not a legal citizen.

he faxed over his license and his birth certificate. we're still not giving you the obamacare. that's the real world she should be answering to. >> that's why people are asking, why aren't you in this with us? if you're selling a type of car with us and saying you're all going to pay for it in general and someone asks you, what kind of car do you drive and it's not type a, you sort of wonder, what the heck is going on? >> i don't have to drive that car. and the president himself yesterday was up in boston, which is massachusetts, famously under the guidance of mitt romney, they came up with their own health care plan yesterday and the president was up there to say look, in massachusetts, they had a plan and they had bugs in the beginning but it all worked well. although mitt romney said mr. president, if you would have followed massachusetts' plan, you would not have had an embarrassing roll out as you had so far. while she was there talking about her web site, if you went

on to the web site, it was down. she said it never crashes. it was down. that's the message they got. what's interesting is our federal government can secretly tap into google and to yahoo essentially without a trace. but we can not run a stinking web site to sell insurance. but we can get by the guys at google. >> it's a mystery. >> it is a mystery. >> so the president was in massachusetts yesterday and kept referring back to mitt romney. mitt romney quickly went out and said in the "boston globe," i believe, listen, i said mass care was good for the people of massachusetts 'cause they wanted it and this is what they wanted. that's what they voted for and that's what he did. he said it was never good for the entire country. you can't have a massachusetts plan that's going to be blown up and brought to the entire country. that is why all these states are up in arms. >> on top of which the -- it wasn't spiked so extreme. >> was it 97 when they came out? >> i was still in college. >> you were still in college.

>> yeah. >> you could have stayed on your parents' plan. >> i could have. >> until last year. the real problem with obamacare we're talking about is also the redistribution of wealth. so yesterday the exchange was heated. listen to this. >> what this does is it actually forces you to have health insurance, which i think is a remarkably good thing. >> health insurance that includes all kinds of add-ons that interest groups lobbied for. i'm paying for birth control whether i want to or not. it's a transfer of money from me to you, from the poor to the rich. >> why should we be paying for james caravel's birth control treatment? >> and the rogaine is not working. >> yeah. so anyway, what has happened over the last 48 hours is the president has been revealed that for years, he's been telling essentially a lie. he said if you like your health care, you can keep it, period.

that is not the truth. jonah goldberg wrote, this is the biggest lie about domestic policy ever uttered by a u.s. president. >> his answer was, if you lose your health care plan, shop around. >> when you read the text, it's disturbing to sit there and read what he's saying, that you've got to go now get the system that we're mandating. it's a little scary to see that. you know what's not scary, heather nauert. >> good morning to you. >> should we talk about your red sox? >> why not? >> you're dressed in red. >> it's a theme show. >> you were up late watching that celebrating in your house. >> you're a good friend. >> a lot of folks celebrating this morning. the champagne there is flowing. take a look. >> it hasn't happened at fenway park for 95 years! the red sox are world champions. >> there you have it. the red sox winning their third world series since 2004 and

their first at home since 1918. that championship cast an incredible turn around for a team that finished last in its division last year. >> it was electric. >> it was awesome! >> it was the best ever! >> i've been going toughenway park since i was this big and to see this at home, just unbelievable. i can't explain it. >> awesome! >> another incredible moment last night came when hundreds of fans gathered at the finish line of the boston marathon. this says all champions again. but some celebrations turned violent. during a late night party, a car flipped over, some windowser smashed. police arresting nine people for unruly behavior. the department using twitter to tell folks to pack it up and go home. we've got an extreme weather alert to bring you. the forecast across the country is looking pretty scary this

halloween. check out this brand-new video just coming into "fox & friends." heavy rain and high winds forcing emergency crews to evacuate -- residents in austin, texas. indiana, kentucky, and ohio, had to put off their quest for candy until tomorrow. so much bad weather out there. then there is this, investigators shutting down a newly completed drug tunnel that they say is highly sophisticated. it runs under the border between san diego and tijuana. since 2008, more than 75 of these tunnels have been discovered along the u.s.-mexican border. two years ago, authorities found this tunnel, 600 yards in length. it linked san diego to tijuana. about 30-tons of marijuana were confiscated in that operation. 600 yards. imagine that. remember this iconic scene from the 1983 classic "a christmas story"? the character gets triple dog dared to stick his tongue to a frozen pole.

>> there is no going back now. >> this is nuts. >> ouch. okay. that moment will be forever frozen in time. that's because the town of hammond, indiana, unveiled a bronze statue of that famous scene. the film's writer grew up in that town. so the question is, how long until someone sticks their tongue to that one? lick at your own risk. >> especially during flu season. >> people might try during the summer, but they're not going to get stuck in the summer. >> thank you. >> thanks. consider it a promise broken. >> if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan, period. >> yeah, right. >> well, our next guest, a republican, says he can fix it. senator ron johnson joins us next. >> then file this under worst date ever. one guy's plans ruined when this

>> wow. the white house now admits if you liked your plan, you might not be able to keep your plan. my next guest, a republican, has a plan to fix that for the democratic president. joining us right now, wisconsin senator ron johnson. senator, like many of the two to 20 million kicked off their plans already, they're wondering what happened. what do you plan on doing about it? >> well, we're going to do it -- within obamacare, there was a grandfather clause, but it was a phony grandfather clause. basically said yeah, you can keep your health care plan, as long as you totally change your healthcare plan. so it was totally false advertising. we're going to put in a true grandfather plan that if off health care plan today you and like it, you can keep that plan. brian, unfortunately, we can't save those plans for every american short of repealing the law. but we sure can make sure that president obama honors that promise to millions of americans. so i'm hoping my democratic colleagues will join us in at least passing this measure, the

if you like your health plan, you can keep it act. >> there was a sense in the house under chairman upton, i'm wondering besides senator manchin, would there be anybody else ameanable on the democratic side to go along with you? >> i know senator landrieu was talking about dropping her own bill to do just that, too. so we'll be in discussions. let's face it, i think democrats in the senate have a real opportunity to make sure that president obama honors that promise. i'm hoping they'll take that opportunity. we have to do it fast before all these plans just go away forever. >> that's what's happening. it's a fast-moving situation now that it's actually here. can you imagine if the web site was actually running? i want to bring you to some other story that broke last night. the insurance companies are being intimidated by the white house to keep their mouths shut and not complain, along with trade organizations. so the initial reports of the insurance companies were saying, i'm out, you're out. now they're being told to keep quiet. how do you feel about that?

you think there is some validity there? >> that's just a renewed effort -- the white house sent letters to insurance companies a couple years ago saying, you can not tell your policy holders that the reason their premiums are going up is because of obamacare. so this intimidation of insurance companies has been going on for years under this health care law. the other thing they're doing is trying to set the insurance companies up for a fall. this administration wants to blame insurance companies for the increased premiums when, in fact, it's all the mandates of obamacare causing health care to rise. >> why don't the insurance ceo's get some steel in their spine and speak up anyway? what are they afraid of? >> well, let's face it, they are regulated by government. that's part of the problem is the fear factor. there was a couple here in wisconsin, they called our office. they both had cancer. they're getting dropped from their coverage. can't get coverage on healthcare.gov. but brian, they don't want their names mentioned because they're afraid of irs intimidation and retribution. that's just a very sad fact.

americans are watching what this administration is doing. and they are afraid, whether you're the insurance companies or cancer victims that lost their insurance coverage. it's a sad comment tear on this president. >> you're somebody who made it big in the private sector and knows the struggle in and out of washington. thanks so much. we look forward to seeing where your measure goes. >> have a great morning. >> you, too. straight ahead, remember google's mystery barge floating in the san francisco bay? there is another update to that mystery. and are you driving to work today? new report on the top cars thieves can't keep their hands off of. ♪ my customers can shop around--

>> you say one of the keys was growing up, your parents said no excuses, no legs. you used to play basketball with your regular nonathletic legs. >> my father was coaching me, so i had to be the best kid on the team. they pushed me. never let me use my disability as an excuse. they always said, you're a normal kid. you're going to do as much as you can and that's where i truly think i can do anything. >> you want rio now. >> i've only been running for three years. i have a few records. i want to be the first american disabled athlete to compete. i want to qualify to show the world what you can do. >> how are your times compared to able bodies? >> it's there. i'm down to 48 high in the 400, 49 low. i really have to get to 46. it takes time. but i'll get there. >> you're training eight hours a at this now out in california. >> out in san diego at the training center. it's really great. training full time. really getting the best training in the world out there. >> everybody thinks about oscar pistorius.

so do you have a neighbor from hell who is terrorizing the neighborhood, kind of like this? >> here's johnny! >> hopefully not. but it can sure feel that way. how exactly are you to deal with a nightmare neighbor with the law on your side? fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. here. he's laughing. >> i love that. the truth is in this country, the second commandment tells us we love our neighbors and the red cross and volunteer ambulance corpse prove it other days. but if you have one of those neighbors from hell, sometimes neighbors really don't realize they're disruptive or they're breaking the laws. so you really have to do research to show that they're violating certain ordinances in your area or homeowners association bylaws.

look at the law first. >> and then you have some tips for us. we just saw try talking it out. you bring your concerns. >> i hate it when i get call from a friend or client and they're having issues about retaining walls or about surveys or about dogs or about people wanting to assault each other. find a mediator. it doesn't have to be an official mediator. it's cheaper than hiring a lawyer. get a neutral party, a friend of both of you, someone that lives on the block. maybe the homeowners association can provide one. then you can actually put together a formal contract or agreement to say, listen, we're going to keep these hours in terms of music, in terms of parties, in terms of giving notice. the problem is once you enter into that contract, it's a binding contract and so then it can be the basis of lawsuits. but it's better than getting into an assault charge. file a written complaint with the landlord. then if you have to, file what's called a private nuisance suit.

this is the last resort. i don't recommend this. >> why? >> because you're going to pay a lot of money for lawyers, create more anger between the parties. we're great neighbors in this country. we're good at talking to each other. if you have to go to court, then maybe go to small claims court to get a resolution. >> what about calling the police into it? some people do that to create a record. >> sometimes you have to call the police. if someone is breaking the law, if someone is disturbing your quiet enjoyment, if someone is engaging in hazardous or dangerous ways to you and your family, yes, call the police. but have a conversation. have a talk before. if you feel like you're in danger, yes, call the police. the thing is you're not alone on this. a lot of americans face this. a lot of great on-line forums, like neighbors from hell.com. and others. you can see what other people have done to try and craft solutions. >> speaking of others and not being alone, you tweeted last night --

>> you're up too late. >> i was up last night. one person said, when a local college started buying property in the neighborhood and turn the house into next door into a frat house, talking about neighbors from hell. >> yeah. exactly. so obviously she wants to do something about that. helen said this: my neighbor would call the police when i mowed the lawn. >> the same thing, easements, surveys insanity. aaron tweets, had to call animal control because of dog barking all night. for weeks this was their response. let's look at the sign that they put up. talk about going to hell, go to hell, they basically said as a response. >> we've seen a ton of postings of people -- >> they leave notes and those provoke fights. those sometimes provoke assaults. those provoke disagreements between folks. when you go home at night after a long day working, whatever you're doing, or dealing with your family, you want quiet

enjoyment. you want to be able to get along and not be bothered. so try and talk it out. we're americans. we're pretty good at being great neighbors. we're probably the best in the world. but on halloween, when you have a neighbor from hell, listen to these tips. mediate rather than assault. >> peter johnson, jr., some sensible tips. i'm glad to be your neighbor today. >> always glad to be yours, thank you. >> coming up next, john stossel, mr. antigovernment, pro-privatization, who everyone knows hates obamacare, finds something inside the bill he actually likesment come on, john. he's walk not guilty and up next. first on this day in history 1987, "bad" by michael jackson was the number one song. ♪ heart healthy, huh?!

well, the singer born on this date in 1967 with the first name of a flavor of ice cream, a loft you were right, vanilla ice was the man, len silverman is the winner. you'll get a copy of brian's new book "george washington's secret." the president says obamacare is more than just a web site that doesn't work. john stossel says he's right, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. host of "stossel" joins us live. >> it's a good thing in that this complication, which no -- this at least makes people think about cost. but the web site is minor. they will fix that. central planning is the problem 'cause this just kills the market and the competition in the market, that makes things better. for example, president obama stood in front of a bunch of women in massachusetts and said, no longer will those evil insurance companies be able to

charge you women more. but when did you last go to the doctor? >> when did i go to the doctor? >> elisabeth will answer quickly. women go to the doctor much more often than men. maybe they're smarter or maybe they're hypocon degree yacks. who knows? but if it's insurance, you ought to be able to charge people who use the services more more. >> but john, you're not paying attention. this administration, this president wants to make everything fair. it's not fair if you pay less than she does. >> it's fair if you pay for what you use unless you're destitute. >> sure. and a number of republicans made the argument, why should i pay for -- i'm in my 60s. why should i pay for your maternity coverage? because we're not going to use it. >> women pay pour men's viagra. -- pay for men's viagra. this mandating takes away consumer choice. >> i understand you actually think that there is an upside to

obamacare. >> that fact that for the first time people are at least aware that gee, not everything is free. i wonder what this costs and more americans, because companies are dumping their plans, they're not attached to your employer, and more are going into these things called health savings accounts, which let's the customer make his own decision. some say to their doctor, hey, i'll pay you cash now. doctor says, no paperwork, no waiting two months? half the price. >> we thought we're making our own decisions now. there are millions of americans who are getting cancellation notices because they own what the president referred to as cut rate insurance policies by bad apple providers and stuff like that. now we're going to have to buy insurance that is up to the government standard, even though maybe we would rather just save money. >> we chose those policies and yet, the president said, you didn't choose well. i need to choose for you. >> if you look around the globe, if you look what they do in singapore, i understand they've got a system that is working and

costs less. >> it's not perfect issues but yes, it's better. we'll feature that tonight on my show that they let hospitals compete and if they have money left over, they can reinvest that. more consumers are in health savings accounts. so they control their spending. >> the topic at 9:00 o'clock tonight will be obamacare over on fox business. john stossel, thank you very much. don't get a hernia. >> mess with this. >> all right. thank you. all right. planning on wearing a mask this halloween? in one place it could get new trouble with the law. we'll break down the trick or treat rules around the country coming up. what? then even sponge bob isn't safe from corporate down sizing. why he's just been canned from the crusty crab. are you kidding? >> just do what you do in school. >> okay. >> back it up. huh? >> back it up.

the cardinals were great, but not good enough. we're live with the celebrations in boston because according to our rundown, "fox & friends" final hour on this day, which is thursday, starts now. >> this is morgan freeman. you're watching "fox & friends," man. >> you know, just like frank caliendo who did that vaseover, today is halloween. the one day a year we can dress up like other people. >> who will we be? >> we are -- the three of us are going to dress up -- >> they decided way early. they got us costumes and they've festooned the set in halloween stuff. who do you think we're going to be at the end of the show? also, if you have some pictures of your family, e-mail them to us at friends at foxnews.com. >> how about this? a prize for anyone who decides to be us for halloween?

let's say you're wrong on that. yes or no? if you're wrong -- >> i don't want to give misinformation to the american public. >> you what? >> i don't want to give misinformation -- >> i want you to -- if you're wrong, will you go into the exchanges? if you can, will you? that's a yes or no. if you can, will you? >> i will take a look at it. i don't have any idea. >> that's not an answer. that's not a yes or no. >> she said she didn't want to misinform the people, but she did because clearly she doesn't understand the law that she is tasked with implementing. she's the architect of it because she can go ahead and get rid of the current insurance that she gets through the federal government. the only difference would be she would have to forego the $10,000 approximate subsidy she gets from the federal government, something the obama administration tacked on so there would be no brain drain. but she absolutely was wrong. she could sign up to obamacare and she does not -- that congressman who had that line of questioning simply showing the

double standard, why do we, people of america, have to be subjected to obamacare, where the people in charge of it don't? >> could she not have anticipated that question a little bit? she knew this wednesday was coming, right? certainly that's a question people have been asking publicly. americans want to know that and she didn't even go into the paperwork to research it prior to being questioned? that, to me, is mysterious. >> i'm curious to see how everyone used their time. i agree, chairman rogers used his time the best when he said i'm worried about security. everyone asked for their personal information. she really had no answers when it came to security. she had three or four days -- >> she had a pat answer. >> she had sunday, publicly when rogers brought it up on the sunday shows. then face-to-face, she still has no answers. we're working on that right now. how could you possibly, if enough questions about the program, as much as you might want the program, question the program, you have to say to yourself, am i giving away the keys to my life if i hop on this

site and register? thank goodness most of you can't get on in that case. let's pivot because while the president of the united states knew kathleen sebelius would be in the hot seat, he's desperate to change the dialogue and he went to a friendly audience in massachusetts and harkened back to mitt romney and romneycare saying, i know you like your plan. we just want to give it to the entire country. and he tackled this issue of his continuous utterance of, if you like your plan, you'll be able to keep your plan, as millions are finding out they're kicked off their plan, the president tries to explain. listen. >> if you had one of these substandard plans before the affordable care act became law, and you really liked that plan, you were able to keep it. that's what i said. when i was running for office. that was part of the promise we made. but ever since the law was passed, if insurers decided to

downgrade or cancel these substandard plans, what we said under the law is you've got to replace them with quality, comprehensive coverage 'cause that, too, was a central premise of the affordable care act from the very beginning. >> so by the way, you can keep the plans that you have and like, but -- there is a but in our health care right now? there is a but? >> a big but. >> all of a sudden it's now six weeks plus that we can't get on the web site, we're mandated to get on, oh, you can keep it, but what i failed to mention, the thousands of times i said it, is that i actually determined if those plans meet my standards. >> what they're doing, the white house is doing their best to spin themselves out of a ditch because to a lot of people, you look what the president has said hundreds, perhaps thousands of times, if you like it, you can keep it, to millions of people, it looks like he's been lying to us either to get it passed or to get elected president of the united states.

interestingly enough, easy for me to say on halloween -- according to the "wall street journal," they've got a new presidential approval rating out there. look at this. only 42% of the country approves of the job the president is doing. that is the lowest number in the history of the "wall street journal" poll. >> for president obama. >> exactly. and here is the thing, i think that number will get worse because suddenly we're hearing the stories of thousands of americans who have already been kicked off their health care and there is a story out there floating around, maybe you saw it yesterday -- that apparently the white house is intimidating insurance companies where they say, if you've got something bad to say about obamacare, don't say it on television because if you do, we're going to make you pay. >> that came from cnn. cnn is realizing there might be some issues with this program. cbo says between 2 and 20 million people will be knocked off their plan. that's the cbo. 7 minutes after the hour. heather nauert is going to tell us what else is happening.

>> good morning to you. hope we're off to a great day. thank you for joining us. we've got a bombshell now report. it is based on documents that were leaked by edward snowden and it accuses the nsa of secretly tapping into google and yahoo's internet server. remember that original prism scandal we told you about before that involved complicated court orders that allow the nsa to subpoena records from those companies. with this latestde named muscular could have obtained the same records behind google and yahoo's back so the companies wouldn't necessarily know about it. reports suggest more than 180 million records may have been compromised. the nsa has denied that claim. extreme weather alert to bring you. the forecast across the country is looking pretty scary this halloween. check out this brand-new video just in this morning. heavy rains and high winds forcing emergency crews to evacuate some residents from their homes in austin, texas. possible tornadoes are also forcing thousands of trick or

fighter. he was finally granted a visa last month and now he'll live in the united states with his wife and two children. and they say they're so grateful to have their kids go to american schools. they've been hiding in afghanistan for the past couple months. >> he just made it in under the deadline. >> that's right. >> heather is dressed in red. somebody else has red today. i wonder why. >> that's right. since 1918, the boston red sox have taken home the world series at home for the first time in almost 100 years. >> so you saw the elation for the first time they won in 100 years and then they won again a couple years later. compare this, elisabeth, for you personally, to the other two years. >> you know what's fantastic about this? boss continue had a rough year. since the marathon on patriot's day, certainly a city that suffered and the nation suffered with it. so to see their victory last night, i think everybody in the united states is cheering with them. it was a great series, great

you had to have seen everybody cheering in the streets after that game. >> i actually saw people cheering in the stadium. i got to tell you, of all the games i've gone to see, that was one of the best. it was a good series. elisabeth, what's nice about this is it's the one thing that people are happy about after what's happened in boston that everyone, it doesn't matter whether you're republican or democrat, people are feeling great. everyone this morning is walking through the streets with their heads down because they're exhausted. but the game was great and fox did an outstanding job of sports coverage. good for you all. >> how fantastic that you were in there hearing the sounds of fenway and victory there. let's talk about some other sounds here. president obama promising that you can keep your healthcare. take a listen, frank, and let me know what you think. >> if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan. if you're one of the more than 250 million americans who

already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance. if you had one of these substandard plans before the affordable care act became law, and you really liked that plan, you were able to keep it. that's what i said when i was running for office. that was part of the promise we made. >> a little bit of a change there. what do you think, is it working? >> it's the phrases, that was part of the promise. the worst thing about a politician is when they make promises and break them. the public believes that it's not just the web site and it's very dangerous if that's all you focus on. when someone gets that letter telling them the doctor they have used for 20 years is no longer available to them, the hospital closest to them, they can't use it, that's a nightmare. that's a crisis for the average american and you're seeing that in the polling numbers. you're seeing that in the way the american people responding. you can see it in barak obama in his speeches right now. he's afraid because this is the

core part of his presidency and the public is saying not just no, they're saying hell no. >> sure. certainly he needs to pay for this system there. what about sebelius saying she's sorry? listen to this, frank. >> you deserve better. i apologize. i'm accountable to you for fixing these problems. hold me accountable for the debauchle. i'm responsible. i told the president that we were ready to go. clearly i was wrong. >> so how sorry is she? does it work? does it resonate with the american people? >> i was shocked when i saw the video because she's reading it. you don't read an apology! imagine what happens when you say to your spouse, dear, i'm sorry. and you're actually reading it. >> exactly. >> the words were okay, but the delivery, there is no sincerity. there is no feeling from the heart. you don't read something. you show it. she didn't show it. >> good point. we have time for one more. republican, new ad mocking their web site problems.

take a look. >> you'll have to take my word for it. go on the web site, check it out for yourself. >> web sites have been experiencing technical glitches. please wait. >> just visit healthcare.gov. you'll find more choices, more competition. >> your gut reaction, frank? >> never say take my word for it. it's going to be a problem for his presidency for the next three years because the american people won't take their word for it. as you can see on those lines on the screen, neither republicans nor democrats trust him as much as they did 12 months ago. >> frank luntz, we appreciate you keeping on the pulse of americans out there. thanks. >> you're welcome. does your halloween costume have a mask? where could you get in trouble with the law just for wearing it? bob massi is here next with the ridiculous trick or treat laws you might be breaking all day today.
